C Am
We skipped the light fandango <--- verse I
She said "There is no reason, <--- verse II
F Dm
And turned cartwheels across the floor
And the truth is plain to see,"
G Em G7
I was feeling kind of seasick
But I wandered through my playing cards
C Am Em
But the crowd called out for more
And would not let her be
F Dm
The room was humming harder
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G Em G7
As the ceiling flew a- way
Who were leaving for the coast
C Am Em
When we called out for a- nother drink
And although my eyes were o- pen
F Dm
The waiter brought a tray
They might just as well have been closed
Chorus
G13 C6 Cmaj7 Am C
And so it was that later
F Dm
As the miller told his tale
G Em
That her face at first just ghostly
G7 C F C G7 C (second time)
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Title: WHITER SHADE OF PALE (Procal Harum)
Some corrections to the chords. I'm writing this from my head so these may be
a bit off, too, but certainly closer. My chart says it's in C but I think I
never did actually check it, so I'll stay in G.
G F# Em D
G D/F# Em Em7/D
We skipped the last fandango
C Bm Am G
C G/B Am Am7/G
Turned cart-wheels `cross the floor
D C Bm Am
D D7/C Bm7 D7/A
I was feeling kind of sea-sick
and so on
D G F# Em D
D13 G D/F# Em Em7/D
CHORUS: And so we watched, and later
as in the verse except for the ending which was OK:
G C G D
Turn a whiter shade of pale

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PROCOL HARUM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
